Abstract:
Hydrocephauls is one if the important complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The incidence of significant hydrocephalus secondart to spontaneous subrachnoid hemorrhage was 7.9%, We analyzed several factors possibly related to hydrocephalus following subrarachnoid hemorrhage in 439 patients between 1990 and 1992. The development of hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hermorrhage is multifactorial. We found the following factors were significantly related with the development of hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage ; intraventricular hemorrhage, level of consciousness on admission, increasing age, hypertension history before subarachnoid hemorrhage, subarachnoid blood noted on CT scan, posterior circulation site of aneurysm.
